MG MGA - Car Cover Problem

A WARNING TO ALL ABOUT COVERSHIELD CAR COVERS BEING SOLD ON EBAY
Note: my problem was with an MGB cover, but it is for all MG's
See attached for Ad

These widely advertised car covers for all MG models and other cars on ebay have a serious problem,
There is no apparent UV Suppression on the fabric, This should have been applied during the fabrication of the fibers or after weaving the fabric according to a Georgia Tech Graduate Textile engineer.
Since the rolls of fabric would be defective the problem should be with many car covers made from this roll, not just one,

I bought one of these Car Covers from Covershield on June 21 on ebay. It was installed in late July, seven days later part of the cover had turned to dust. The Textile engineer said this was due to NO UV Stabilizer on the fabric or the fibers during manufacture.

They have an obvious problem with some OR ALL of their car covers.

Attempts to reconcile the problem with Covershield Customer Service let to a go around and 20 we’ll call you back (which never happened)!

An email led to to the unacceptable offer below, which amounts to buying another one (probably also defective AT THEIR WHOLESALE PRICES. The touted lifetime Warranty does not include any refund according to the customer service supervisor I spoke to Today. ( Note: after 10 calls and being cut off, disconnected, on hold forever, etc.)
